As soon as Bartleby enters the door, Lochiel's distress hits him in waves, and he is almost at the stairs before he realises that the poor guy's asleep. He can check that he's okay when he wakes up.

He retreats to a chair by the fire. He'd never tell you, but he's a little worried about Co- Fenrir. Only a little. And now a lot worried about Lochiel. And lots of fun background angst in his head. Distracting him from all this is a brilliant plan.

Ain't it always this way? As soon as Charlie gets comfortable he sees Bartleby hunkering down by the fire.

Well, there's only one thing to do in a case such as this.

Pounce.

This is very easy to do when you're six inches shorter than your boyfriend.

Bartleby startles as he suddenly acquires a Charlie, and then a wide smile spreads across his face.

[bloodyrockgod]

He drapes himself across Bartleby quite extravegantly and kisses him. This goes on for quite some time.

"Hi."

"Hi," Bartleby murmurs. His voice is husky, and he settles further into the chair, bringing Charlie with him. "You look tired."

[bloodyrockgod]

"Good to see you too." He nibbles the end of Bartleby's nose and then kisses it. "Haven't been sleeping well. Last night was better, though."

He strokes Bartleby's face with both palms. "And you? How are you doing? Look a little peaky yourself." He sets himself about kissing Bartleby better.

Bartleby bites gently on Charlie's lower lip. "I'm fine, I'm okay. Not sleeping?" More worry. Yay.

[bloodyrockgod]

Charlie shrugs. "Periodic insomnia. Us creative types get it a lot. When the mind won't slow down, you know. But I slept just fine last night and you're here now so hooray."

"Sorry I wasn't here before." He kisses Charlie again. "Missed you."

[bloodyrockgod]

"Missed you too." He kisses Bartleby back, hands in his hair and eyes half-open. "What kept you?"


[ooc: did I ever show you this? the reason for the pocketses icon]

"Tme's doidgy, isnt it? Wisconsin's only gone a day." He sighs. "This is probably going to keep happening, lovely."

[bloodyrockgod]

"I figured that was it." He sighs and lays his head on Bartleby's shoulder. "But! You're here now and we could--um--we could--"

The truth is mostly what he's been thinking of doing when he saw Bartleby again involved being naked and horizontal--but, he reminds himself, taking. it. slow.

[watch-wait.livejournal.com]

"We could head up to your room?" And he almost makes a joke involving the words 'testing' and 'equipment', but... refrains. "After you tell me what's been happening. And I didn't completely buy the periodic insomnia bit." He strokes Charlie's hair.

[bloodyrockgod]

"What's been happening . . . well. All right." He sighs again. "Armand hurt David because Richard was gone and Armand was angry, and when I told Richard this wasn't acceptable he said I 'didn't understand.'

"And the old man's been bothering Liam's wife at her work so Liam will talk to him, so Liam is sending Karen and Megan to stay with her parents for a while. But I gave him the notebook of all my latest songs so I think he'll have an easier time remembering me--and he thinks Megan remembers me just fine, because she drew a picture of me with green hair.

"And I got to play with a mariachi guitarist last night, and I liked that.

"Kiss now." He turns his face up.

[watch-wait.livejournal.com]

Bartleby frowns. "Two good, two not." He obliges Charlie, slow and sweet. "Did Richard offer no other defence?"

[bloodyrockgod]

"Richard . . . doesn't make judgements. That's probably a good thing, most of the time, but still." He sighs.

"B . . . do you feel you need my forgiveness for things you did before we met? Because you have it. If you need it. Which I don't think you do, but there it is anyway."

[watch-wait.livejournal.com]

"I don't... I mean, I'm glad that you forgive me, but... it doesn't mean that much. You weren't there. You don't know what you're forgiving... and nothing I did affected you. The forgiveness I need is from Loki, from God, from the souls of the people I murdered - sometimes watched Loki murder, from Liz, from Ingress... you get the idea." He kisses Charlie a little anxiously, afraid that he sounded too harsh.

[bloodyrockgod]

"Loki forgave you," he says quietly. "He's said so many times. And the Landlord's letter sounded like forgiveness to me."

His thumbs absently stroke Bartleby's shirt.

"Well, I didn't think you needed it, anyway. Just something else Richard said. That I've forgiven you for what you've done and he's forgiven Armand for what he's done . . . and it got me thinking. So." He smiles and scoots up on Bartleby's lap a little. "But no matter. You're right."
